00:00South Korean police barged and bullied their way into the South Korean president's residential

00:06compound after battling with his supporters at the gate, then negotiated for hours for

00:11his voluntary surrender.

00:13Embattled President Yoon Seok-yool finally capitulated to giving himself up for a jail

00:19time of no more than 48 hours in the interim.

00:23Then again, a constitutional court awaits him, where arguments on the merits of his

00:28impeachment case will be deliberated and eventually adjudicated on as we hear more

00:34from VOA's Bill Galliol.

00:38Supporters of impeached President Yoon Seok-yool scuffled with police outside his residence

00:43in Central Seoul, but they could do little to stop the overwhelming number of police

00:48who entered Yoon's compound early Wednesday.

00:52After several hours of negotiations with Yoon and his legal team, the deadlock broke without

00:56violence.

00:58Yoon left in a motorcade, maintaining a presidential image despite the circumstances.

01:04He is the first sitting South Korean president to be detained.

01:09Yoon, accused of insurrection, faces questions over his martial law decree last month.

01:14In a pre-recorded video message, Yoon was defiant.

01:21Such repeated illegal actions and coercive procedures based on invalid warrants are deeply

01:28deplorable.

01:33Authorities can detain Yoon for 48 hours before seeking a formal arrest warrant.

01:37The insurrection probe isn't the only trouble that Yoon faces.

01:41The country's constitutional court is also set to soon rule on his impeachment, a verdict

01:46that could remove him from office.

01:49Phil Gallo, DOA News, Seoul, South Korea.
